Impermanent Record

	  		

verse 1 
Bm         A                G 
  I was trembling with gooseflesh 
Bm               A                G 
  First time I prayed to speak in tongues 
Bm              A     G                  Em 
  I saw it coming       and I tried to run 
    Bm             A           G 
But now I make it up as I go along 
Bm         A                   G 
  Do I drive around   with my high beams on 
Bm         A               G 
  Do I ever watch the road 
Bm               A         G                Em 
  I store my thoughts in other people's heads 
Bm         A                G 
Then I question what they know 

Bm        A              G 
   The rain falls on the  animals 
Bm       A              G 
   The wind blows up   the dirt 
Bm               A            G           Em 
   I Climb the rock  make a home in the cleft 
Bm              A              G 
   And keep a record of the earth 


Bridge 
F#m                      G 
   On a crowded city sidewalk 
F#m                         G 
   Or in the wilderness alone 
F#m                       G 
   The crowd of witnesses   hover above you 
        Bm         A              G 
Like a              a pillar of smoke 
Bm             A               G 
     Singing stories  whispering  jokes 


Bm         A                G 
   So The rain falls on the  animals 
Bm         A                G 
   The wind blows up the dirt 
Bm              A              G               Em 
   I Climb the rock  I make a home in the cleft 
Bm                A              G 
   And I Keep a record of the earth 
Bm            A        G  
   I keep a record of     the earth 
Bm                  A                 G   Em 
   And I write it down for what it's worth 
G       Em           Bm 
For what    it's worth
